That is spectacular architecture, where do you get your ideas from?

The bungalow is still happening tho

Hi there Silver,
nice too see you again....and really great stuff you got there...
one Q though, which software did you use for the PLANS??? they look amazing

silver_shadow · 11 May 2009, 10:23

The plans were done in Vectorworks, exported to pdf, and imported to photoshop cs2
The elevations were done in Su, rendered in Vray and touched up in cs2
Sections were first made from su, brought into vectorworks for cleanup and then pdf and cs2
But final composition were made in Photoshop. Glad you like it

free agent · 11 May 2009, 10:29

hehe now go ask them for permission to share it

SO as a vectorworks user, do you recomend a AutoCAD user to switch or use both??
because i've seen some great work (PLANS) done by Vectorworks...and yours makes me want to learn this software even more, and also to improve my presentations.

Well i must say..i like vetorworks a bit more than autocad. But it comes down to user preferences.
You can draw just a sfast as you can in autocad if you get to know it better and set up some basic shortcuts, and it also do have a 3d package in it, really bad, but overall i like it. worth while learning it.
It has got layers, classes and saved sheets. Layers you can group all your pens which is switched on and off into layers and have them as groups switched on or off. It has got viewports also. Further on on the new vectorworks 2008 you have pens and fills you can make transparent, like if you want to make glass, draw in a class you set up called glass and give it transparency like su and it will show it like that in cad, anything behind it will still show depending on transparency.So id say its not a bad program to learn and also quite easy to learn it too. If you walk into a firm not knowing vworks, ill bet you you will be running the program by the end of the week, if no one really helps you.

you choose an elevation in sketchup, no perspective..set up the shadows and make sure you got the new vray installed and render it using the default camera

dale · 11 May 2009, 12:16

Always a pleasure to see your work. I use Vectorworks as well as Acad, but I prefer VW, but agree that it is users choice. Before SketchUp I used to do all my 3D stuff in VW. Way more complicated to do, but got pretty good final results.
Anyway, Love your work.

thnx for the advice mate, i will definitly try it out.

kwistenbiebel · 11 May 2009, 14:21

Really great work there Silver!
You have been busy.

and yeah, vectorworks is more like drawing on a drawing board. it has a bit more of a graphical approach instead of the technical approach of Autocad, at least that is how I use it (I never touch the BIM module).
On the other hand, it seems that both Vectorworks as Autocad will be obsolete...as Revit seems to be taking over drafting (and documenting) in arch firms nowadays.

teofas · 11 May 2009, 16:07

ive always admire your modeling and render skills, i think this are great examples of the great things SU can do, very inspiring bro!

boofredlay · 11 May 2009, 16:15

Wow, this is great work. I am taking notes...
